WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life advocate Lauren Handy was sentenced to four years in prison and a $125 fine on Tuesday, in the first of Tuesday’s sentencing hearings for the first batch of pro-lifers convicted last year of blocking access to a late-term abortion facility in the nation’s capital.

On August 29, 2023, a D.C. jury found Handy, Will Goodman, Heather Idoni, John Hinshaw, and Rosemary “Herb” Geraghty guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and “conspiracy against rights.” The next month, Joan Andrews Bell, Jonathan Darnel, and Jean Marshall were convicted of the same; Paulette Harlow’s conviction came in November.

(a late-term abortion facility)


Revelation 20:12-15
King James Version

12 And I saw the Dead, Small and Great, stand before God; and the Books were opened: and another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life: and the Dead were judged out of those things which were written in the Books, according to their works.

13 And the Sea gave up the Dead which were in it; and Death and Hell delivered up the Dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And Death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the Second Death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.

What do they mean by “blocking access”? Just standing nearby? This is a blatant violation of Constitutional rights, but the world hates Christians and knows no bounds when persecuting them.

Call Congress
(202) 224-3121
U.S. House switchboard operator
Mention state and zip to get connected.

Message: DOJ Clarke’s testifying falsely to Congress, falsifying govt documents about her arrest and jailing, her comments about racial superiority, and her role organizing a 1994 event at Harvard that hosted a professor who accused Jews of persecuting black people are troubling.

She should step down immediately.

Clarke falsely testifying indicates she apparently believes Americans
who pay her salary are too stupid to determine the facts.

Americans cannot tolerate a self-serving justice official with an utter contempt for its citizens.

During Clarke’s confirmation hearings, Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton asked Clarke: “Since becoming a legal adult, have you ever been arrested for or accused of committing a violent crime against any person?”

Clarke responded, “No,” according to responses she submitted to the Senate under oath in a document called “Questions for the Record.”

On Tuesday evening, Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee called for Clarke’s resignation.
“Kristen Clarke is in charge of enforcing civil rights laws,” Lee said in a statement posted to X. “She enforces those laws aggressively against anyone who sneezes near an abortion clinic. And not at all against those who vandalize churches. She lied under oath during her confirmation proceedings, and should resign.”

“She lied under oath to mask her arrest for committing a violent crime, yet she zealously prosecutes peaceful pro-life protesters,” the senator added.

Unfortunately, no. The linked article within the linked article says that the pro-lifers went into the abortion "clinic" and talked to women in the waiting room and also blocked the door.

But this is selective prosecution. Do activists who interrupt church service, strip down to their underwear, and yelll "my body my choice" get 4 years in prison?

Sorry to tell everyone, but WE are the (neo) Marxists now - jailing and abusing Christians, promoting insane, post-modern social policies, spreading chaos and color revolution around the globe, corrupting our money into oblivion, Central-government organized media censorship and propaganda, etc...
